Windrush Weather

UV level rises to ‘Very High’ but temperatures slide again

The sun did break through intermittently yesterday with 1.92 hours and when it did it was very strong giving a UV level of 7.1. This was just into the ‘Very High’ category and the highest UV reading since 22nd August 2016.

Sadly, the sunshine did not mean a warm day as the thermometer only reached a peak of 13.1C, some 3.5C below the 33-year average, partly due to the limited sunshine but the wind veering into the northeast again and strengthening.

Overnight the thick cloud kept the thermometer from falling very low with a minimum of 6.2C at 06.18. This morning dawned with the thick cloud continuing and a temperature of 6.7C at 08.00, the coldest morning this month. Also relevant is the extremely low humidity with a reading of only 76% at 08.00. Usually the humidity level falls during the night but this morning has been falling from just after midnight.
